Great timing! I was planning on rearranging my bedroom this weekend so my bed isn't right under the drafty window.

The weekend before last I was told something that I really liked - that you have to "move in" to your own home every few years or so. Clean everything out, clean the windows, fix things, move everything out of each room, paint it, prepare it like you were moving in to a new place, and move all your stuff back in. I plan to "move in" to my bedroom this weekend :)
